On Tuesday, August 23 - Thursday, August 26, 2022, Podcast Movement returned to the city where it all began in 2014: Dallas! AdsWizz and Simplecast joined the SXM Media team and thousands of passionate podcasters and industry professionals from around the world under one roof to learn, grow professionally, and, most importantly, evolve and improve the podcast community. Our presence included a lounge on the main floor, programming throughout the conference, and numerous networking events.
Simplecast Midday Meetup
Produced in partnership with the BIPOC Podcast Creators, this meetup included light bites, coffee, tea, and other beverages and a knowledge-sharing/Q&A session with special guests answering questions from the attendees.
Simplecast Creator Connect Happy Hour
On the last day of the conference, Simplecast hosted its signature Creator Connection Happy Hour with an open bar, passed apps, a photo booth, and more–plus exciting new features from Simplecast! (But mostly: good vibes with fellow creators!)
